    ABOUT US
The Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes (SADS) Foundation was established on December 12, 1991 by G. Michael Vincent, M.D. and several dedicated co-founders.

Our Mission is to save the lives of children and young adults who are genetically predisposed or otherwise susceptible to sudden death due to cardiac arrhythmias and to provide education and support to families and the medical community who are dealing with these disorders.

The SADS Foundation is dedicated to providing information, assistance & hope.
